REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 This is an application to set aside orders made by me on 27 July 2005 dismissing the appeal brought by the applicant.
2 The respondent submitted that this Court has no power to set aside those orders. I doubt that is so and I am prepared to assume that the Court does have the power. In any event, having regard to the history of the matter and the non-appearance of Mr Khan on several occasions, including today, and for the reasons given by Mr Markus, the appropriate order is to dismiss the application with costs.
